Colonial Pipeline Water Treatment Proposal
Colonial Pipeline is seeking to improve containment and remediation efforts at our Huntersville release site through enhanced product recovery and local water treatment. The treatment system’s operation requires a state permit for discharging clean, treated groundwater back to the local watershed. That permit includes strict requirements for testing the discharged groundwater. Treated water will be returned to the local watershed via North Prong Clark Creek.
A Critical Component
The next phase of recovery and remediation of the Huntersville site requires full operation of the hydraulic control well system. This is a critical component in preventing the migration of underground product. The well system and other recovery wells will bring to the surface water that must be treated. Treating the groundwater on site avoids the disruptive and potentially less safe approach of trucking it away for treatment and ensures the water stays in the local watershed.
